Afrojack to add more colour to F1 festivities

Grammy award-winning DJ and producer Afrojack will be performing live at the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2020, which is scheduled to take place March 19 to 22 at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in Sakhir. This was announced yesterday at a Press conference hosted by BIC at The Avenues.

Speaking at the event, BIC Chief Executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa and Gulf Air Deputy Chief Executive Officer Captain Waleed Al Alawi revealed some of the major details of this year’s race, which includes Afrojack’s concert on the Friday of the Grand Prix weekend.

Shaikh Salman commented: “2020 will mark some major milestones, with the 70th anniversary of both F1 and our partners at Gulf Air. We are truly celebrating in style with Afrojack as our major concert act, together with an amazing mix of other entertainment and racing.” Afrojack is only the first artist to be announced for the highly anticipated Formula 1 event. 

All ticket-holders to the Grand Prix will be able to attend his concert at no extra cost. Other artists performing will be announced by BIC soon.
